Probably the most fascinating district of Istanbul.

„Indeed we are talking about a refugee camp which is not declared, and

whose existence is yet unproven. A camp that is indefinite surrounded by

walls” (aus Indefinite Space: Pelin Tan, Garantie Platform)

TARLABASI

First settlements

Historically, Tarlabaşı was home to a large Greek popula-tion; the neighbourhood’s most prominent building is still a Greek Orthodox church from the 19th century.

Taksim Square

Tarlabaşı

Galata Tower

Golden Horn

Bosporus

Istiklal Avenue

-Tarlabasi is centrally located, at the heart of the city but in terms of socio-economics it is the most lacking.- It is considered a walled city, surrounded by highways.

Area

aUnique urban fabric, outstanding architecture. Characteristics: Mediterranean design& planninng = representational architecture

Aesthetics

Religious buildings such as Synagogues, Mosques, Churches are to be found within the district. Former citizens left their signs of religious beliefs. Some are well located and some are hidden treasures (forgotten graveyards under architecture).

Diversity in terms of architecture.

95% of the day the streets are in full use by children, in particular by boys in be-tween 6 and 13. Regardless the weather conditions; they are outside!In fact, the public space can be perceived as an extension of the living room. In this project the children are our street experts, who will show you the daily life of Tarlabasi.

The life experiences gained by age and their stories stay alive as long as they are told and portrayed.

4. >>NOSTALGIA<<

Is EUROPEgoing down the drain

Project Culburb activates the public realm in the suburbs of Central European capital cities through acupuncture interventions. Using minimal means these actions set up interaction between inhabitants and have an impact on the community life. ?!

Europe is balancing on the edge of an uncertain future. Changing fertility rates, the process of urbanization and the current financial crisis are strong forces we have to cope with. The-se circumstances call for Europe-wide action that would not only challenge the top down practices driven by the governments and markets, but that would also propose institutional innovations for deepening democratic governance and increasing social equity.

We wondered how the inhabitants (on such a geographically interesting

place as a tripoint area) live together and how their relationship or connec-

tedness evolved during the last decades. Therefore we contacted the most

experienced. By means of photos, audios and videos the elderly of the tri-

point Deutsch Jahrndorf – Rajka – Rusovce have participated in the

1. Rephrase the research question!2. Develop a site specific method!

Onorthodox decided to give the floor to ‘the most experienced ones’. About 75 elderly participants (re)told their stories by means of photos about the former days to Onor-thodox and their fellow participants. Now it is about time to combine and show these photos and stories of the three villages (and countries). All these individual pieces of the past merge into a collective memory.

The collected short stories

Never-before-seen photos from 100 years ago tell vivid story of tri-point area

Subversive/ Guerrilla marketing

... is an advertising strategy in which low-cost unconventional means are utilized, often in a localized fashion or large network of individual cells, to convey or promote a product or an idea. The term guerrilla marketing is easily traced to guerrilla warfare which utilizes atypical tactics to achieve a goal in a competitive and unforgiving environment.
